What if most of the stories we tell ourselves are not truths, but alibis?
In Our Perfect Alibis, V.E. Synainesis delivers a sharp and unsettling philosophical essay on the human need to escape responsibility. From God and the Devil to happiness, love, jealousy, consent, memory, surveillance, and artificial intelligence, this book follows a single question: what do human beings invent when they cannot bear the limits of the Real?
This is not a book of easy consolations. It does not flatter the reader with moral innocence, romantic myths, or technological optimism. Instead, it cuts through the narratives we use to excuse domination, disguise fear, and launder violence.
Page after page, Our Perfect Alibis dismantles the illusions that make us feel protected - the sacred used to justify brutality - love confused with possession - jealousy disguised as depth - consent emptied of its ontological force - memory turned into control - the machine invoked as a neutral refuge from human choice
At once philosophical, psychological, and deeply contemporary, this book confronts the places where modern life still seeks permission not to grow up.
For readers drawn to existential thought, moral philosophy, human psychology, and uncompromising essays on freedom, responsibility, desire, and power, Our Perfect Alibis offers a lucid and unforgettable challenge:
to live without excuses, and to consent at last to the Real.
